La reconstruction virtuelle d’intérieurs historiques – de l’architecture en passant par la décoration murale et le mobilier jusqu’aux textiles – est un instrument de médiation culturelle qui a fait ses preuves ces dernières années, en particulier dans le monde des musées et des expositions, mais aussi dans les monuments historiques et en archéologie. Depuis une période récente, cet outil est en outre utilisé spécifiquement par la recherche en histoire et en histoire de l’art pour l’étude des intérieurs historiques. Les questions de proportions spatiales ou encore les unités architectoniques fondamentales sont ici au premier plan, l’accent étant souvent mis sur la possibilité de visiter virtuellement ces espaces, soit sur un écran 2D, soit avec un casque immersif.
